Nintendo: ‘Wii U GamePad Has All The Functions Of A Handheld’

The Wii U GamePad has "all the functions of a handheld," according to Nintendo. The new controller boasts several features, including a 6.2 inch touchscreen, traditional button controls, two analog sticks, a front-facing camera, a microphone, stereo speakers, motion control and rumble support. Unlike handhelds, however, the Wii U GamePad is not a portable; people cannot carry and play it wherever or whenever.
